In some cases, the latch may be accidentally depressed or unauthorized users may tamper with the latch, resulting in unwanted removal of the plug from the jack.
  • the present invention is directed to an improved plug locking assembly and a system for securing a plug comprising a latch into position, the system comprising a plug locking assembly and a key.
  • a plug locking assembly comprises a cover and a latch support surface associated with the cover.
  • the cover comprises an opening for receiving and holding a plug comprising a latch.
  • the latch support surface is positionable to underlie the latch of the plug when the plug is positioned within the opening of the cover, thereby resisting depression of the latch.

  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of FIG. 1 shown with a key used in connection therewith;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective rear view of the cover of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4A is a perspective view of one embodiment of the cam component of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4B is a side elevated view of FIG. 4A ;

  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the cam latch component of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the cam and cam latch components of FIGS. 4C and 5 in an assembled state
  • FIG. 7A is a perspective view of FIG. 1 with a plug installed within the plug locking assembly:
  • FIG. 7B is a cross section of FIG. 7A through the axis of rotation of the cam
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the key of FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the key of FIG. 2 engaged within the cam assembly of FIG. 6 ;
  • FIG. 10 is a front perspective e view of FIG. 1 , shown with the tool of FIG. 2 and the cam component of FIG. 4A disposed in a first position;
  • FIG. 11 is front perspective view of FIG. 10 , with the cam component disposed in a second position;
  • FIG. 12 is a front perspective view of FIG. 1 , shown with a plug in a locked position:
  • FIG. 13 is a bottom perspective view of FIG. 12 .
  • plug locking assembly 8 of the present invention comprises cover 10 , cam 30 and cam latch 50 .
  • Locking assembly 8 may be used in connection with key 70 for rotating cam 30 .
  • the foregoing components may be made of a variety of materials, including metal and plastic, and may be constructed by methods known to those skilled in the art, including machining and injection molding.
  • cover 10 comprises opening 12 , sized and shaped for receipt of a plug, opposing sidewalls 14 , internal bottom surface 15 , key receiving member 16 for receiving key 70 , cam retention slot 26 (shown in FIG. 7A ) and side stop surface 28 (also shown in FIG. 7A ).
  • Internal bottom surface 15 may comprise retaining latch 23 , defined by inclined surface 24 and front stop surface 25 . Retaining latch 23 secures the plug within cover 10 .
  • Key receiving member 16 may further comprise key retention lip 17 , limit stops 18 and key tab slot 19 . Key retention lip 17 helps secure key 70 in key receiving member 16 during rotation of key 70 .
  • Limit stops 18 prevent movement of latch support surface 33 in a predetermined direction (including e.g., over-rotation), and key tab slot 19 receives key tab 72 of key 70 , as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8 .
  • cover 10 may further comprise cam retention slot 26 for receiving and holding cam 30 .
  • Side stop surface 28 of cover 10 prevents rotation of cam 30 in a clockwise direction.
  • cover 10 may also comprise notched portion 27 to provide clearance for certain features used in VOIP phones.
  • FIGS. 4A-C illustrate details of rotatable cam 30 , designed to assist in preventing depression of the latch of a plug positioned within cover 10 .
  • Cam 30 may comprise different lengths.
  • Short cam 30 a shown in FIG. 4B , comprises a relatively short plug latch support 32 a, designed for receptacles that are recessed behind a panel or frame that obstructs the area into which the cam would reach.
  • the dimensions of short cam 30 a may be about 0.45 inches in length.
  • Long cam 30 b shown in FIG. 4C , has a relatively thick plug latch support 32 b, designed for use with receptacles that are flush or very near the face of the panel in which they are mounted.
  • the longer plug latch support 32 b provides extra support, which is desirable given the longer space between the center of gravity of plug locking assembly 8 and the face of the receptacle.
  • the dimensions of long cam 30 b may be about 0.58 inches in length.
  • Cam 30 typically comprises plug latch support 32 , slot 34 , cam latch stop 36 , keyway 38 , retention tab 40 and rotation stop 42 .
  • Plug latch support 32 may comprise latch support surface 33 connected to curvilinear surface 35 , which extends to rotation stop 42 . Although plug latch support 32 is shown with a curvilinear surface, it may exhibit other shapes, such as rectangular. Latch support surface 33 is typically substantially planar.
  • Cam latch stop 36 and rotation stop 42 prevent unwanted rotation of cam 30 . As best seen in FIG. 6 , cam latch stop 36 prevents rotation of cam 30 when key 70 is not inserted into keyway 38 , through its interaction with cam latch 50 . Cam 30 may rotate freely with key 70 inserted into keyway 38 , because key 70 causes a portion of cam latch 50 to slide into slot 34 .
  • rotation stop 42 abuts side stop surface 28 of cover 10 , preventing rotation of cam 30 in a clockwise direction.
  • retention tab 40 engages cam retention slot 26 of cover 10 , as shown in FIG. 7A . Under these circumstances, cam 30 is secured within cover 10 in alignment with key receiving member 16 .
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a detail of cam latch 50 , which includes sidewall 52 , retention tab 54 , front surface 56 , and latch arm 58 .
  • Cam latch 50 is secured to cover 10 through engagement of retention tab 54 within a slot (not shown) defined within cover 10 . With cam latch 50 secured within cover 10 , front surface 56 precludes access to retention tab 54 .
  • latch arm 58 engages stop 36 of cam 30 when key 70 is not engaged within key receiving member 16 and keyway 38 , thereby preventing rotation of cam 30 and holding plug latch support 32 in place.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the relationship between cam 30 and cam latch 50 , when both are positioned within cover 10 .
  • FIG. 8 illustrates key 70 , designed to rotate cam 30 and lock/unlock plug locking assembly 8 .
  • Key 70 includes shaft 71 , key tab 72 and limit tab 74 .
  • Shaft 71 may be hollow and comprise internal projection 73 for mating with keyway 38 .
  • Key tab 72 is dimensioned and shaped to mate with key tab slot 19 of key receiving member 16 of cover 10 .
  • Key tab 72 may extend from first end 77 to second end 79 through curvilinear surface 81 .
  • Key 70 also prevents cam 30 from over-rotation through limit tab 74 , which prevents rotation of key 70 when it strikes limit stops 18 of cover 10 .
  • Limit tab 74 may be positioned on a top surface of shaft 71 and comprise angled surface 75 .
  • Key 70 may further comprise core outs 85 for ease of manufacture and key break 87 to provide a break point for key 70 when severe over-rotation of key occurs.
  • FIGS. 10-12 illustrate stepwise operation of plug locking assembly 8 .
  • Key 70 is inserted into key receiving member 16 of cover 10 , followed by rotation in a counterclockwise direction by about 90 degrees.
  • key 70 When key 70 is inserted into key receiving member 16 of cover 10 , it also engages keyway 38 of cam 30 , which causes key tab 72 to push latch arm 58 out of contact with stop surface 36 and into slot 34 , as shown in FIG. 9-11 .
  • cam 30 also rotates in a counterclockwise direction, clearing opening 12 for receipt of plug 100 and positioning latch support surface 33 transverse to internal bottom surface 15 of cover 10 , as shown in FIG. 10 .
  • Plug 100 may then be secured within opening 12 .
  • Insertion of plug 100 into a jack may occur next.
  • key 70 may be rotated in a clock-vise direction, such that plug latch support surface 33 underlies and contacts latch 104 to secure latch 104 into position and help prevent accidental or unauthorized depression of latch 104 as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 .
  • Key 70 may then be removed from key receiving member 16 , leaving plug latch 104 engaged with plug latch support 32 and allowing latch arm 58 of cam latch 50 to once again abut cam latch stop 36 of cam 30 . In this way, locking assembly 8 secures plug 100 within jack.
  • Plug 100 from jack Removal of plug 100 from jack is also possible. With plug 100 engaged within jack, key 70 is once again inserted into key receiving member 16 of cover 10 and keyway 38 of cam 30 . Rotation of cam 30 in a counterclockwise direction frees plug latch support member 32 from its position beneath latch 104 of plug 100 . Plug latch 104 may then be depressed, followed by removal of plug 100 from jack. Plug locking assembly 8 may then be removed from plug 100 by manually removing retaining latch 23 from slot 102 and pressing plug 100 out by hand.
